The problem is people call him a cherry pick then the same people begged him to fight a welterweight so that is what he is going to do

Lmfao nobody but the victims wanted that fight. Even carnela fans don't want it when carnela herself said she wouldn't get credit for it

Just look at social media. Lot of people hyped up the fight, inc people within boxing

I'll just touch on the boxing on Saturday nights and having a girl thing.

I always tell my wife that she's lucky I'm not into football or a sport where there is multiple coverage of it weekly. In boxing, the good fights come around once in a while, so AT LEAST give me those nights. Sure, there are lesser fights most Saturday nights and unless we got nothing better going on, I'll be able to escape and watch them, but the argument that can usually win you is that you're watching a sport that comes and go. It's not consistent and that means she won't lose you weekly on multiple days.

Yet in saying all that, she'll still find ways to ruin that 1 big super fight night, lol.

In hindsight, I should've marked on my calendar for the big boxing days. I would plan a date on saturday and then it would just hit me like "Oh, I completely forgot Tank and Ryan are fighting tonight".

They were begging him to fight Bud when he was still a welterweight, since after Spence fight and before Madrimov fight. I thought having 1 fight at 154 and a close one at that, was going to kill off the Canelo fight hype, but looks like it didn't. People look past Buds age, that he fights once a year (doing the same this year sitting out whilst Canelo fights in May), has had 1 fight above 147 which was close, 0 fights at 160 0 fights at 168, whilst his opponent has been champ at 175 and dominated 168 for years. This isn't even me hating both Bud and Canelo are elite but this is mismatch. I think if fans kept the pressure on Canelo Benavidez im certain Turki would have made that. But you can see from social media the Bud Canelo hype became bigger than Canelo Benavidez

Crawford hasn't made that big time, Mayweather type of money yet so he's going to cash out vs Canelo with Turki's blessings, we all know this, the fight is an absolute mismatch, it's a joke. The fight is comparable to GGG vs Kell Brook.

But again, it's the ignorant casuals (who are the majority and make the boxing world go round) that don't understand this, they just see the name brands and that's it.
